That sounds like a good idea to me.  However, I looked at Jeffery's
examples some more, and I found at least one word in which I was
mistaken, "deh-GIHM" which clearly shows [I] (am I correct using this
symble for 'ih'?  I'm not incredibly familiar with the IPA) even though
it's on a stressed syllable.  Apparently, then, either pronunciation is
fine in any position, with just a tendency for one or the other depending
on stress.  So perhaps we might not even need to mark stress at all, since
it doesn't seem affect the meaning.
